University life

Hi everyone! it's been a while since i've bloggeddd! Life's been hard... So here's a taster as to what I go through nearly every day of the week.

If you read my previous entry about university it hasn't been much fun. It's been stressful and tiring. Sometimes I regret having all my classes during the mornings and finishing at 2pm. My classes usually start at 9am so there are 3 options:
1) Take the 7:39am bus from Rockdale OR
2) leave home at 8am and risk lining up in the stupid line that exists during the first few weeks of uni which is literally 500 metres long.
3) rock up 15 mins late like i have been doing for the past week. lolz ==" it's bad to be late for tutorials. lectures are fine

So yeh, i hardly take the bus because it only takes me to lower campus and it's annoying when the class is in mid campus and when all the good food is located in upper campus.

Starting at 9am means sleeping at 12 midnight and waking up at like 5 or 6am to study for wotever subjects i have on the day. It actually feels very bad being at a lecture half asleep and even falling asleep during a lecture. My subjects include Managing People and Organisations, Microeconomics, Business and Economic Statistics and Accounting. Here's my take on every subjects' lecture and tutorials.

1) Managing people and organisations-
Lecture- the lecturer is quite funny and interesting however, his heavy Singaporean accent ruins some of the jokes. In lectures like these, people rock up 30 mins late because it's a 2 hour lecture. There are considerably less people in lectures compared to those on the first lecture which is quite sad.
My tutor is great because he actually makes the topic interesting and interactive for everyone. Plus, he can actually read my messy handwriting xD

2) Microeconomics-
Lecture: The lectures are nbearly the reiteration of year 12 economics which makes lectures extremely boring. i hope it gets interesting soon.
Tutor: He seems like a nice guy and he can also teach pretty well. Although, he doesn't interact with the class that much, maybe because Microeconmics isnt so much of a interactive subject. o_0

3) Business and Economic statistics-
Lecture: absolutely clueless as to what is going on in the lecture. seriously, reading the textbook doesn't help AT ALL. Thank God PASS exists because I finally get what is going on with covariances and bivariate relationships etc. My PASS tutors are really good at explaining hehe.
Tutor: He's Vietnamese lolz He has an accent but he's a good tutor. Although he doesnt like speaking to the class directly, he seems to be in a world of his own when explaining to questions.... I'm not saying it's a bad thing. it's good he loves wot he does.

4) accounting:
Lecture: The lecturer is absolutely amazing. I say this because, during the first accounting lecture, she was talking about the online quizzes every 3 weeks. She ended up standing next to where i was sitting for 5 mins and she took my notes to show the class. THEN my phone went off just as soon (it vibrated on the desk because it was on silent) as she was about to keep walking. LOL. I thought i was gonna die of shock but like any professional and experienced lecturer, she ignored it.
Tutor: SHE'S KOREAN. WOOOT ! She's so smart and she's pretty ! She like her teaching method xD.

I know many of the people in my lectures so I'm never lonely but I would really like to meet new people and make new friends =) However, I have met a few new people already which is really good. haha~ any ways, study time!!! Laters~
